"Standing South of the old farmhouse, was the old cattle barn, built in 1862, with its addition to the east. In 1869, it became much frequented by rats." [1]
"One of Dr. Miles' hobbies was to put in grouted floors, deep and well cemented. This kind of repair was placed under the barn where it stood later while a cement tunnel for the heating plant rand under the 20 feet below. To clear the way for the fire-proof agricultural building, erected in 1909-10, where it is used for a cover shed for small cattle and for a storage shed for manure; the east wing of this old barn is now used for a bull barn."
